THE Berbice Amateur Basketball Association (BABA) is looking to take the game to the next level in the Ancient County, according to its president Vibert Garrett.
The association, which wrapped up the Nigel Hinds Financial Services Annual Berbice Basketball Mecca Classic, under lights, at the New Amsterdam basketball court, on the second Saturday of this month, would be hosting a one-night clash next Saturday, dubbed ‘BERCOR Night of Basketball’.
In an invited clash, Pacesetters from Georgetown are expected to travel up to face Rose Hall Town Jammers.
The game, which is scheduled for the New Amsterdam basketball court, is set to tip off at 19:00hrs.
MORE FRIENDLY BASKETBALL
According to Garrett, developing the sport is key under his watch. He noted that the executive committee decided that having more basketball games in Berbice is the best way forward.
Garrett added that visiting teams in Berbice will play not only “friendly games, but in some of our championship games, so that it can help develop basketball in Berbice”.
According to the basketball head, “Guyanese should stop seeing sports as recreational events and instead see them as an industry through which thousands of persons can get jobs.”
